Explosion Injuries 7 in Prizren

An explosion at a nightclub often raided by police for suspicions of being a front for prostitution has injured seven people late Sunday evening. Two of the injured were foreign females and two of the seven people were seriously injured in the blast. The building originally housed the Kosovo Protection Corp (TMK in Albanian) but later was turned into a strip club/bar. It is thought that the attack was criminally motivated, a possible fight between different organized crime groups.

I've been hearing a bit about the Macedonian police shutting down a heavily armed Albanian group and finally found some articles with photos. The weapons seizure is quite impressive and I can't help but think "thank goodness those are secured" as tensions are mounting as 10 December gets closer. Additionally, KFOR seized replica Serbian uniforms from a group that allegedly was planning on instigating incidents in Kosovo and blaming it on Serbia.

Wars, lies, and mass rape charges, don't know how to describe it but it definitely falls under the interesting article category. As I've said before, these articles do not necessarily reflect my thoughts but as I come across articles, I post them here so you can also read some of the different opinions out there :)
